Did You Get Pinched Today?

Today is the day you can be pinched if you are not wearing green. It’s St. Patrick’s Day and legend goes if you aren’t wearing green a leprechaun can see you and pinch you. For some who just like to be tricky, it’s a pass to pinch people.

Who is St. Patrick and why is his day celebrated the world over?

St. Patrick was a teenager in Wales when he was kidnapped by Irish Raiders and sold into slavery in Ireland. Upon his fortunate escape he found his way back to Britain where he became a priest. In a dream God told him to go back to the land he was a slave in and spread the gospel and start churches. He obeyed.

His return to Ireland shaped the nation and its Christian roots. He is known as the Patron Saint of Ireland. Today is the anniversary of his death which is why St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17th every year.

We toast his life and his obedience by wearing green and drinking some spirits. No pinching allowed.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
